All agreements must be submitted to the Director of OSP for review and approval. Once the Director, OSP completes the review, the document will be forwarded to Office of Counsel and/or Director of Commercialization and Technology for review/concurrence.
The UAH point of contact for the agreement will provide to the Director, Office of Sponsored Programs the contact information for the agency.
All agreements are reviewed to ensure the following:
- Purpose of the agreement.
- Length of the agreement period. UAH will not (unless otherwise agreed upon) sign any agreement with an effective period in excess of 5 years.
- UAH will not accept any agreement which has indemnification clauses.
- UAH will not accept any agreement which requires it to be governed by another state/country law.
- UAH will not in most instances, accept any agreement which have an exclusivity clause.
After review and coordination with the appropriate units, the Director of OSP will prepare a letter to the agency noting UAH’s exceptions (if applicable) and requesting a revised agreement be returned. If no changes are required, the signed agreement will be sent to the agency for signature, requesting a fully executed copy is returned.
Upon receipt of a fully executed agreement, an Acknowledgment of Non-Disclosure Agreement and/or Contract Covenant and copy of the fully executed agreement will be sent to the UAH principal point of contact/disclosure for review and signature. The signed acknowledgment form will be returned to the Director, OSP. This form must be signed by every UAH employment that may have contact with agency proprietary data.
